Answer:

LN = 16

Explanation:

EF is a midsegment of the triangle and is half the length of LN , that is

x + 2 =
(1)/(2) (x + 10)

multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction

2x + 4 = x + 10 ( subtract x from both sides )

x + 4 = 10 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = 6

Then

LN = x + 10 = 6 + 10 = 16
